What it is and who makes it
Brit Premium is the Czech maker Brit's premium range, more affordable than grain-free Brit Care. The foods are split by dog size, and Adult S is for small adult dogs: Toy Terriers, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Maltese, Spitz, Shih Tzus, Dachshunds and mixes of similar weight. Such dogs have higher energy needs and small stomachs, so the food is more energy-dense and the daily amount is split into several meals.

Cons and what to keep in mind
- Contains grains. Wheat and corn — not for dogs that react to them.

- Energy-dense. Small dogs overeat easily, especially with treats.
How to feed
Feed dry or softened with warm water. Split the daily amount from the table on the pack into 2–3 equal meals, since small dogs have small stomachs and high energy needs. If your dog ate another food before, start with smaller portions mixed with the old food and gradually increase the share of Brit Premium. Fresh water always.

A small dog's weight
A small dog's daily ration is modest, so every bite from the table adds noticeable calories. A piece of cheese for a Chihuahua is like a sandwich for a person in calorie terms. Weigh food on kitchen scales, count treats and weigh the dog monthly. If weight creeps up, cut the portion by 10% and add walks.
Teeth in small breeds
Small dogs' teeth sit close together, and tartar builds up faster than in large dogs. Dry food helps a little mechanically, but regular brushing and vet checks matter most. Step-by-step instructions are in how to brush your dog's and cat's teeth.
Who it suits
Adult small-breed dogs of 1–10 kg with normal activity and no chicken or grain allergy. Dogs of 10–25 kg have Brit Premium Adult M, and a grain-free option for small breeds is Brit Care Mini Adult Lamb. All foods are in dry dog food.
Verdict
Brit Premium Adult S is a straightforward everyday food with chicken, chondroprotectors and salmon oil for adult small dogs. Good value for money if the dog tolerates grains and chicken and portions are measured precisely.
